Wow lol, thanks.

No matter how you slice it though, you're going to get the same outcome more or less. Just prolonging it with a chance of not getting a critical. And as far as squishy goes, they're doomed regardless usually when crits are concerned.

Thanks for breaking it down, and most importantly; thanks for clarifying this is the rules question forum, I would have been mad at my self if I posted this elsewhere.

I gotcha.

I think it would make better sense to just make the
Crit range 18-20 the same as a natural 20.
" Oh you rolled a 18, that's the same as a natural 20,
roll confirmation." Because, really why wouldn't it.

I understand what you guys are saying, and thank you.

But having to have your natural 18 and 19 actually have to hit
the target to make it a critical seems like your not really getting a crit, range of 18-20 with out the circumstance of hitting the AC.

Just like keen. This ability doubles the threat range of a weapon. So if the only threat range is a natural 20 you would think the natural 20 is now a natural 19 and a natural 20.

I ask this with just a raw dice roll, no bonuses or anything.

So, if I have a Crit range of 18-20 and the AC of the target is
a 19 and I roll a Natural 18 and then confirm with another natural 18 is this a critical hit?

So, if I have a Crit range of 18-20 and the AC of the target is
a 19 and I roll a 18 and then confirm with another 18 is this a critical hit?

I’m currently running a True Neutral- Master Summoner that is currently 4th level.

I have noticed that some of the Summon Monsters look to have the option of Celestial or Fiendish Templates.

Let’s use an Eagle for example. (Summon Monster I)
Do I have to be good or evil to use Celestial or Fiendish Templates that reads as an option for the summoned eagle?
Or is that option decided when I choose to summon it?

Or since I’m True Neutral I cannot use Celestial or Fiendish Templates.?

If a 4th level Paladin can get an attack of opportunity on a creature, is she able to activate her immediate action smite, and smite during the AoO?

With this being said smite has not been active on this target yet.
The question is, using the swift action smite, and being able to smite all at once during the AoO?

Worker (–1 CR) Worker ants do not have a poison sting attack or a grab special attack.

The attack you cite is for Gian Ant Soldiers. To get Gian Ant Soldiers you need Summon Monster 3.

1) No when the ant makes a full attack it goes Melee bite (+grab attempt if the attack succeeds) +sting. They don't have special attacks triggered by a successful grab attack.

2) I am not really sure what you are asking. The Smite evil effect is applied to all attacks when applicable, so it adds no damage to a successful grab, as it doesn't do any damage. If, after successfully maintaining a grab you decide to use it to apply damage, it applies.

When I click on the Giant Ant from summon monster II

So this is what I was afraid of, no magic really helps spell like abilities.

I’m still not really understanding…
Can you post a few magic item ideas that will help spell like abilities,
When I cast summon monster?

Im looking for magic items that will enhance my spell like ability-
Summon Monster…

I am just wondering if there is any magical equipment that will
help the Master Summoner improve his summons.

Since it is a spell like ability I am having a hard time finding
anything that will help that.

However, if I want to cast a spell summon monsters I can find
plenty of stuff that will help the spell Magic cast the spell but just
nothing that helps spell like abilities and summons for the Master Summoner.

I am hoping that this is just oversight and there is a whole gaggle of
magical items that’s compatible with spell like abilities.

Thanks

Got a question... I pretty new to PF and have a question I'm stuck on.
I am making a character for the first time.

Regarding traits-- I have a trait that gives +1 to preception and +1 to appraise.
If I don't put a rank in these do I still get the skill at a +1 bonus?

If I have a skill with no ranks do I get the attribute bonus for that particular skill?
Or do I need at least 1 rank to get all bonuses associated with that skill?
(All bonuses meaning class, traits, attribute, misc-etc)
